Gun collecting

[Centurion]

I own and carry the FNX 9 which is the same gun only hammer fired. I love it. It's great out of the box and I imagine the FNS is no different. If I'm not mistaken it won a golden bullseye award last year. It has an external safety, which some might consider a negative but it's pretty unobtrusive.

Unfortunately for me (and everyone else in CA), neither the FNS or FNX is an approved handgun.

Everything Wofford said. Great feeling gun. I haven't been able to shoot one yet, but if reports are the same as typical FN I have no doubts the FNS are good to go. I'm actually thinking about picking one up just because....for a $50 rebate I NEED to buy one right??

~~Also, I haven't checked to see if anyone posted this. Now it seems Springfield is issuing a recall on their XD-S pistols:

ATTENTION

3.3 XD-S™ SAFETY RECALL

Issued August 28, 2013
Technical Background Get Started Contact Us Springfield-Armory.com
Springfield Armory® is initiating this voluntary safety recall to upgrade 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols with new components, which eliminate the possibility of a potentially dangerous condition. We want to emphasize that no injuries have been reported to date.

Springfield has determined that under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading process when the slide is released, or could experience a double-fire when the trigger is pulled once. The chance of these conditions existing is exceptionally rare, but if they happen, serious injury or death could occur.

What should you do?
STOP USING YOUR 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm or .45ACP PISTOL AND CAREFULLY UNLOAD IT!

To begin the upgrade process and for fastest response, click on the Get Started link at the top of the page. On that page enter your serial number and click Next. If your pistol is subject to this recall, you will need to provide your name, address, phone number, and email address. The serial number is located on the frame beneath the dust cover (accessory rail). If you prefer, you may initiate the upgrade process by calling 800-680-6866. If you no longer own the 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm or .45ACP pistol, please advise Springfield of the current owner.

XD-S Serial Number

What pistols are involved?
This Safety Recall applies only to:
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm pistols - serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols - serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300.

This Safety Recall does not apply to any XD® or XD(M)® pistols.

What will Springfield do?
Springfield will send you a return authorization and mailing label, allowing you to return your 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm or .45ACP pistol to Springfield at no cost to you. Springfield will upgrade your 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm or .45ACP pistol with the new components, and return it to you. Springfield will provide tracking numbers so you can monitor the receipt and return of your upgrades.

Questions?
Visit Springfield Armory. com for further information about this safety recall. You can reach the Springfield Armory Call Center at 800-680-6866. Springfield apologizes for this inconvenience, but your safety is our paramount concern.

Any mosin nagant owners out there? I'm interested in picking one up. I know you have to inspect these since they are surplus. Any info on a trusted supplier and what models are known to be solid?

A friend of mine owns 2 and he swears by them. Supposed to be incredibly high quality.

I ordered my first gun yesterday, a Smith & Wesson .357 4inch barrel
I'm really excited to get this.

Great choice man. I've got the 6" 686 S&W, absolutely love it.

Thanks for the tip. Checked mine and luckily it wasn't one that needed replacement.

Took my 10/22 rifle out today. My dad had his new 44 magnum. Yeah you read that right. My 73 year old father was shooting a 44 mag.
Good times

New plinking fun. A High Tower Armory 90/22. They did an awesome job coming up with this stock for the Ruger 10/22.

 

[Centurion]

Very cool.

A new CZ P-09 Duty in 9mm.

That's an awesome pistol.

I wish the P-07 was good to go in CA. It's basically the same pistol chambered in .40 cal.

look up SSE. Single Shot Exemption. that's how i've been able to get my off roster guns.

btw, i hear there's pending legislation that will do away with SSE by next year so who knows how long we'll be able to legally do this.

Thanks P1X4R.
I just found a very short list of FFL's willing to do the conversions.
